WW2?

The wartime leagues would still be classed as competitive even if the titles aren't counted no?

No idea mate was just throwing it out there. There were probably less games in general though. Maybe someone who knows their history could fact check it up.

Whenever time began - 1863 is the longest gap, not quite there yet

Did we play a game when time began ?

1962/63 i would guess.

The big freeze, think no games were played after boxing day until the very end of March.

Good shout, by the time August comes though

We must be close to the longest a team has been involved in a European competition in a season?

We must be getting close to that now. Would be interesting if someone could confirm it although it looks likely a few posters up the thread will be right

1st January 1963 home to Celtic we played our last game until 9th Match 1963 at Dunfermline

Would say this currently will be the longest period between competitive game - Bayer Leverkusen on 12th March 2020 until whenever we play our next match in August if that
